 * $wgFragmentMode is now set to [ 'legacy', 'html5' ] by default. This is a first step of
   migration to human-readable section IDs that will later result in 'html5' being the
   default mode.
+* CACHE_ACCEL now only supports APC(u) or WinCache. XCache support was removed

+* The old CategorizedRecentChanges feature, including its related configuration
